Product Description

The ADM52C-2 S3 is a high-density discrete output module designed for the Yokogawa Electric Corporation CENTUM CS 3000 and CENTUM CS 1000 control platforms.

This module provides 32-channel transistor-based discrete outputs, enabling centralized DCS control of field devices such as:

• Interposing relay coils

• Solenoid valves

• Status indicator panels

• Sequence logic actuators

The S3 revision represents a hardware enhancement focused on long-term reliability and industrial stability. The transistor switching architecture allows:

• High-speed signal response

• High-frequency pulse output

• Extended operational lifecycle compared to mechanical relay modules

It is particularly suitable for time-proportional control and high-speed sequencing applications.

Detailed Technical Specifications

Application Scenarios

Oil & Gas Processing
Controls distributed solenoid valve networks and alarm annunciation systems.

Chemical Manufacturing
Manages batch process sequencing and safety permissive outputs.

Power Generation Plants
Used for turbine auxiliary signaling and control panel indication logic.

The 32-point density design reduces cabinet space requirements while maintaining high reliability in continuously cycling control environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the ADM52C-2 S3 compatible with CENTUM VP?
Yes, but since the module was originally designed for legacy architectures, CENTUM VP integration typically requires compatible legacy I/O nests or interface racks. Hardware compatibility should be verified before deployment.

Can this module drive 110 V AC solenoids?
No. This module is a low-voltage DC transistor output device rated for 30 V DC maximum. High-voltage AC loads require an external interposing relay between the module and the field device.

Is this module suitable for high-frequency pulse control?
Yes. The sub-millisecond response time and configurable pulse width control make it suitable for high-speed logic and time-proportional applications.
